U.S. Navy Divers: (Bend Over, Here It Comes Again)
Perverts, malcontents, and macho men join the Navy to be deep seadivers and taunt, drink, fight, and harass each other across the Mediterranean during 1976. Diving in sewage, shark, and rat filled waters, the men aboard the fleet tender USS Puget Sound do the underwater dirty work of repairing aircraft carriers, destroyers, and cruisers. Turd putting becomes an Olympic sport, the gorgeous drag queens of Naples become humiliation for the new recruits, and BOHICA (Bend Over, Here It Comes Again) becomes the motto of the fleet. All of the stories are true and all of the characters are real however, their names have been changed to protect the guilty.

About the Author
My name is Dan Fredrickson. I am the President of Advanced Hyperbarics and Training Director for the Association of Diving and Hyperbaric Professionals.
Many of you wonder what Hyperbarics is and what it does. Let me start with how I first learned about hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). I was introduced to hyperbaric oxygen as a student while attending U.S. Navy dive school in 1977. Hyperbaric oxygen chambers were used to help divers with decompressing or eliminating excess nitrogen from their bodies from deep dives. Or in the worst-case scenarios treat “the bends” or decompression sickness if things went wrong. I was a Navy diver for 22 years and had many experiences using HBOT to help people.
